Good question. No word from Football Index or Adam Cole recently which I suspect means it will not even be ready for when the Premier League starts this Friday. Frustrating, but these things take time and there is still triple media buzz until performance buzz comes in....

With the introduction of the performance buzz for next season pretty much all players on the Index are in with a shout of winning a performance buzz. Who do you think next season will be the best value buy in terms of dividends received against the share price paid? Lukaku is currently top of the index at over £6 a future and although he is almost certainly guaranteed to win both media and performance dividends next season, could better, or even the best, value come from a cheap defender who fairly consistently wins a performance buzz?

Ramos is a good shout because he plays for a team that wins a lot and he chips in with goals quite often so he will pick up lots of performance buzz points. Agree with Lindlehof. Bailly, Shaw and Valencia are all probably worth having as the media loves to write about United. Outside the prem I would say Alaba and as you mentioned Sandro are good buys. Possibly Alves but not sure how many minutes he will play at 34....

I have not purchased a tracker myself but I understand it allows you to buy one share of each player in either the top 25, 50 or 100 places in the first team. The potential upside is that you have a good chance of having players that will attract dividend payouts but the obvious downside is you have no choice on what players you buy. Generally if the Index goes up then your tracker will go up.

Currently you need to have held a player for 24 hours to be eligible for a buzz win but I understand this is time-frame is under review. The buzz divided is paid out per share so currently 1st place in the media buzz pays out 8p per share. 100 shares in a player who finishes 1st at the moment would win a £8 in buzz dividend. Anything other info or advice just ask, happy to help!

The transfer rumours will die down but once the season starts the general focus of the news is on player performances in matches or stories relating to big games coming up etc - there is always footy news!

Up to this point on the Index the market prices have been based essentially on which premier league player was getting the most attention from the press. Strikers tend to get all the glory and so the top of the Index tended to be the the top premier league goalscorers. On that basis goalkeepers and defenders werent as popular with traders as they are less likely to win a media buzz.

However, with the introduction of the performance buzz (details released tonight) though the Index will also have a focus on how good a player actually is rather than how much news they generate. This could mean that Defenders and Goalkeepers are more valuable as the performance buzz may be based on clean sheets etc.

With regards to Terry, before the transfer was confirmed his price was in excess of £1 I believe because he was in the news re his potential transfer. On the day of the transfer or perhaps the next day after a buzz win is paid, alot of traders tend to offload because they believe Terry is now not likely to be making many more headlines playing out of the limelight in the Championship. He is also not a current England player. The performance buzz the Index bring in may make him more valuable again but again a championship player, and being 36, is going to make him a risky hold.

You're welcome buddy. I would suspect that Keita will see a drop either when a transfer to Liverpool is confirmed or when the rumours die down and he stays at Leipzig. If a transfer to Liverpool is confirmed I would imagine his share price will settle similar to that of Salah, another one of Liverpool's signings. If he doesn't sign and the player stays outside the Prem then I would expect the share price to fall more sharply in the first instance. However, I am hoping with the introduction of performance buzz that players plying their trade outside of the Premier League are more valuable and thus their share price will increase again. The market at the moment is almost completely shaped my media buzz at the moment so as I say I am hoping once performance buzz is introduced things will look a little different! Happy trading!
